Load Multiple .mat Files to Matlab workspace

Question

I\'m trying to load several .mat files to the workspace. However, they seem to overwrite each other. Instead, I want them to append. I am aware that I can do something li

Answer 1

Its not entirely clear what you mean by "append" but here's a way to get the data loaded into a format that should be easy to deal with:

file_list = {'file1';'file2';...};
for file = file_list'
    loaded.(char(file)) = load(file);
end

This makes use of dynamic field references to load the contents of each file in the list into its own field of the loaded structure. You can iterate over the fields and manipulate the data however you'd like from here.
